Elon Musk’s Boring Company, which was founded to create tunnels for an underground transportation system in Los Angeles, has released a map illustrating a proposed network for those tunnels.

The Boring Company was inspired by Musk’s frustrations with LA’s notoriously congested traffic. Operating beneath Interstate 105, the tunnels would hold large electric skates that could transport cars at speeds of up to 150 mph (241 km/h).

Commuters without their own vehicles would be able to travel in communal passenger cars.

The first step in the construction process is to create a 6.5-mile (10 km) “proof-of-concept” tunnel that would allow the Boring Company to run tests that could eventually lead to approval from the Los Angeles county and city governments to expand the tunnels and use them for public transportation.

Below, you can see the proposed map. The red segment represents the proof-of-concept tunnel for running tests. The blue segments are potential expansion routes if the tunnels are approved for public use:

A 500-foot (150 metre) segment of the tunnel is already complete.

Musk also hopes to build tunnels in Chicago and between New York City and Washington, DC.
